Automate Discord + Linear
Community chat with an automation-friendly API. Fast issue tracking that deserves fast automation. Put an agent between them and the hand-off stops being manual: it reads, decides, acts, and shows its work.
Support First Responder is a ready-made agent built around Discord; point its last step at Linear to finish this hand-off.
Automations teams run
These are not field mappings. An agent reads the Discord side, works out what it means, and only then decides what — if anything — should happen in Linear.
When a message posts in a channel in Discord…
…an agent can create issues with full context in Linear — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a member joins in Discord…
…an agent can update status and assignees in Linear — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a keyword appears in Discord…
…an agent can write cycle summaries in Linear — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When an issue is created in Linear…
…an agent can post channel messages in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a status changes in Linear…
…an agent can DM members in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a cycle ends in Linear…
…an agent can publish digests in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
Copy this Discord → Linear workflow
Concretely: the discord-api node on one side, a custom-api call to api.linear.app on the other, and an agent in between that can decline. Deciding not to write into Linear is a recorded outcome, not a silent one.

}Install Support First Responder
Support First Responder is a working agent built around Discord. Install it, point its last step at Linear, and you have this hand-off without building it from an empty canvas.
Runs on your own machine · See what it does
Build it in AGNT
- Get AGNT Community Core. Free, local, no sign-up needed to run a workflow.
- Add both connections to the vault — Discord takes an API key pasted into the vault, Linear takes an API key pasted into the vault.
- Build the three nodes above, or start from a marketplace workflow and edit it. The agent in the middle is the part worth spending time on.
- Run it once with an approval gate in place. The receipt tells you what it read, what it concluded, and what it changed in Linear.
Discord and Linear — common questions
Can I connect Discord to Linear without writing code?
Yes. Discord connects with an API key pasted into the vault and Linear with an API key pasted into the vault, both from the local credential vault. You then describe the job in plain language — “when a message posts in a channel, create issues with full context” — and the agent handles the rest.
How is this different from a field-mapping Discord to Linear automation?
The difference shows up on the messy inputs. A rule chain needs every case enumerated in advance; an agent handles community questions answered from your docs the way a colleague would — reading the Discord context, judging it, then writing to Linear with the reasoning recorded.
Does my Discord and Linear data leave my machine?
AGNT Community Core is local-first, so there is no vendor middleman holding your Discord or Linear tokens. The runtime talks directly to both services. Choose a local model and the content of what it reads never leaves the machine at all.
What does a Discord and Linear run leave behind?
A receipt: what was read in Discord, which tools ran with which arguments, what the agent concluded, and what it wrote to Linear. Anything consequential can sit behind an approval gate so a person signs off before it happens.
